In an interview conducted by Newshub entertainment reporter Kate Rodger, Kathleen Kennedy has straight up said that she would “love” for New Zealander of the Year and director of Thor: Ragnarok Taika Waititi to direct a Star Wars movie. Although it comes across as a light-hearted statement, Kathleen re-affirms rather than backs down when Kate seeks clarification that her comment is “kind of a job offer”. A self-confessed Star Wars fan herself, Kate Rodger visibly approves 🙂 Watch the clip of the interview segment below, and check out the Newshub coverage here.
